*Expert Tip: Using a high-quality, finely milled oat flour ensures a light, airy crumb that mimics traditional wheat flour without the inflammatory gluten.
Instructions
- Preheat and Prep: Set your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Dry Components: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the oat flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
- Activate the “Buttermilk”: Combine the almond milk and lemon juice in a measuring cup. Let it rest for 5 minutes until it thickens slightly.
- Wet Components: In a separate bowl, whisk the prepared milk mixture with eggs, melted coconut oil, maple syrup, and vanilla.
- Combine: Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry. Mix until just incorporated; do not overmix.
- Bake: Pour the batter onto the prepared sheet pan, spreading it to the edges. Arrange the sliced strawberries evenly across the top.
- Finish: Bake for 13-17 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the edges are golden brown.

Professional Notes & Storage
Allow the pancake squares to cool completely before placing them in an airtight container. They will maintain their texture in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat in a toaster oven to preserve the golden exterior.
These are excellent for long-term meal prep. Flash-freeze individual slices on a tray for one hour before transferring them to a silicone freezer bag. This prevents sticking and allows you to grab a single nutrient-dense serving on busy mornings. They remain fresh for up to 3 months.
